SATA Backplane

This backplane is used to rotate the SATA data connector to 90° in order to help mouting hard drive into Fractal Node 804.

The hard drives have 3.5mm between them.

The bom can be found in the docs directory.

Questions

How big is the Sata backplane PCB?

It measures 56 × 43 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.61 mm thick.

What parts does the Sata backplane use?

11 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Sata backplane KiCad files?

From the alexthomazo/sata-backplane repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is sata-backplane.kicad_pcb and its schematic sata-backplane.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Sata backplane design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask alexthomazo before reusing the design.
